Extended Opening Hours

Our Opening Hours have changed, for more information please see our announcement in our opening hours section of our website.

If you have any comments or feedback you would like to give regarding this, or about anything else happening at Kirkstall Lane, please email kirkstall.lane@nhs.net or call 0113 295 3666 and ask to speak with the practice manager

Since the autumn of 2014, we have been providing evening and weekend appointments both at KLMC, and at a Hub service in Headingley as part of a scheme that was funded by NHS Leeds West CCG. Regrettably, from April 2017 the funding for this service will be withdrawn and we will need to reduce our services as a result.

We have as a group of practices in Leeds West, secured funding from NHS England to continue our evening and weekend services, however the funding offered is much less than we have previously received. The reduction in funding is around 60%.

What will change?

Evening appointments will be delivered from a Hub service at Burley Park Medical Centre

Weekend appointments will move from our Headingley Hub, and will be hosted at Hyde Park Surgery (Saturdays) and Burley Park Medical Centre (Sundays)

There will be fewer appointments available in line with the reduced funding

We have introduced an early morning session to give greater flexibility to patients, appointments will now be available from 7am on Thursday mornings.

Whilst we are very sad to lose so much of the funding for these services, we are happy to be able to maintain our 12hrs per day, 7 days per week service if only on a reduced basis. We know this will have an impact on our patients' ability to get an appointment that is convenient to them, but we are doing all we can to make sure that the services we offer are available to those who need them, when they need them.

Please contact our practice manager if you have any queries regarding these changes: simon.boycott@nhs.net

Kindest regards,

Dr Richards, Dr Miller, Dr Chauhan

Practice Training Days

Once a month with the exception of August and December, the practice will close at 12pm so that we can undertake essential review and training exercises.

We do this so we can ensure that our skills and knowledge are up to date, so that our team can be trained and so that we can undertake vital improvement work so that we can be assured of providing all our patients with the best care possible.

If you need medical help on any of these closed days, please call 111 to contact the out of hours GP service.
